Today’s Duluth News-Tribune profiles the “typical Northlander.” Using census data, they’ve determined that the “typical Northlander” is a 29-year-old college educated female marketing professional.
Oh, if only it were true! Many a modern Iron Range man tours downtown bars looking for just such a person, but — alas — success in this regard is rare, certainly not typical. Actually, the story explains that this typical Northlander is also a married homeowner, which is why you don’t see these women in the bars. At least, until the divorce. (But, don’t go by my word entirely; I was a married homeowner before I could legally enter bars).
The typical Iron Ranger skews a little older, but is also a married homeowner. Unmarried renters? Just move along, people. There’s nothing for you here.
Ha! Kidding. There is … but not until you get married and buy a home. Drifter!
